Why Can't I Open a Position When My Account Has Assets?

Some users encounter an issue where they have assets in their account but cannot open a position. This could be due to the following two reasons: asset allocation is frozen or insufficient margin.

1. Asset Allocation is Frozen

The assets in the user's trading account are used for other transactions, causing a freeze that prevents opening a position.

For example, if the user has 100 USDT in their trading account and places a limit order to buy BTC with 60 USDT in the spot market, that 60 USDT becomes frozen, and the user cannot use it to open a futures position.

The user can cancel the spot market order or transfer more USDT from another account to the trading account in order to open a position.

1. Insufficient Margin

Futures trading operates on margin, meaning sufficient margin is required to open a position. If the account does not have enough cryptocurrency as margin, opening a position will not be possible. Since prices fluctuate, the required margin for opening a position also changes.

In such cases, reducing the number of contracts or transferring more funds into the relevant account can help open a position.

For example: When the available margin is 100 USDT, you can choose to open a position with 90 USDT or 95 USDT. This reserves some room for price fluctuations and accounts for the related fees.
